Singer Martin Kemp has arrived in Australia to take part on I’m A Celebrity, and issued an emotional statement, saying he would miss his family.
“What am I going to miss….my family, but it’s going to be an adventure,” he said as he touched down at Brisbane Airport ahead of the ITV show starting this Sunday. He added: “I don’t want to take things too seriously and just enjoy it.”

Earlier Alex Scott arrived at the airport, after sharing a touching farewell with her girlfriend at Heathrow. She said of girlfriend Jess Glynne: “I already miss her, this will be the longest we’ve been apart since we’ve been together. We are certainly not used to it, it’s going to be hard.
“I am going to miss her show in Birmingham too. I am gutted she is not going to be here but I know she is going to be my biggest cheer leader. I am getting emotional now. I am trying to not even think about it. Hopefully I will see her on that bridge.”
Comic Eddie Kadi also arrived saying he would miss his eight-year-old daughter. Other celebs flying Down Under include Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, known as Angryginge, EastEnders actress Shona McGarty comedian Ruby Wax, and Jack Osbourne. They are to be joined by rapper Aitch, and presenter Vogue Williams.
Ant and Dec are returning to host the hit series, which is in its 25th year. A source close to the show said: “Producers are expected to pull out the stops to ensure the 25th series is the most memorable yet.”
